Should I be concerned?

The other night i took a ride real late and ran into a zx6rr . We we're going about 70 mph . I gun it on 4th and left him about 2 cars back . Cool i was gone , took it to 7500 rpm and 150mph before i shifted to 5th and he shot by me like i was standing there. I have a third gen with a ported motor , front mount , master power t70 with a .96 bh, 1650 and 850 injectors apexi fc and bc etc. the only thing i'm slipping on is the fuel pump and i haven't got it tuned yet. Plus i was only running 14 lbs. We raced again this time i down shifted to third same thing i would pull on him and when i shifted he was gone. i shifted pretty quick both time both time it did'nt matter. Should i be concerned?

You shouldn't be racing on the streets!!!

I think if you got a tune then you'd be doing much better, but Bikes are powerful. They're like 170hp at like 100lbs. Power:Weight is amazing.

Try more like 400 lbs.

And fine tuned single FD will stomp a 600cc bike.
You should not be boosting at all without a tune.

^Depends on what year 1000. If a newer one than yea you would have to have alot of power. Bikes are fast and when you get a car that will beat one thats pretty good.

how does that t70 feel at 14lbs? You may want to up it as I'm sure that turbo is not really all that efficiant at 14psi.
